7up from Tipperary..any info..common?

[Canadacan]

Saw this today, its from Kelly's bottling Co Ltd. Is just a common bottle?

Tipperary is in Ireland , Kelly's bottling co is still open under a different name according to my google search . I wouldn't have any idea though as to how common this bottle be or how popular 7 up was in that region at that time

Huh well would look at!....very cool RCO, thanks for posting that. I see they still carry 7up

I dont think its a very common bottle. I think its from the 1960s from Ireland. IBC glass company. I snagged one on ebay for 15.00 plus shipping a while back. There is one listed for $75 on ebay right now. I think Ive seen another amber from Argentina of the same style.

I guess I did ok, it was $10 cad= $7.50 usd and no shipping as it was right in our local shop, condition could be better as my example's ACL runs through the seam
I noticed one sold recently for $24 USD + shipping.......yes mine has ICB on the bottom...and 69...which I'm assuming is for 1969?

You did good on the price then Canadacan. Yeah ICB, curse my dyslexic typing fingers. Im assuming that as well but mine says 108 on the bottom so....

Ive seen some fakes out there too, they dont say Keilys Tipperary on them and they are much darker. They are irradiated bottles.

No this bottle is from Kelly's 'Bottling co. Ltd'.... not Kiely's...unless they are the same, but RCO provided a link in his comment that is different than the one posted by irish digger, so I think we are talking about two different company's.

Another interesting thing is the size is a wee bit smaller than the Canadian and USA size of 7oz....looks like a no more than 6oz....it is not specified on the bottle.

I was not really collecting foreign 7up's but it looks so good with my Canadians!...this just may be enough to push me to acquire some of them awesome USA variations now

Listen, all you need to know is that "It's a long, long way to Tipperary!"

Are you sure Canadacan? It sure looks like K-I-E-L-Y-'-S on the back of the bottle to me? Yes, mine is smaller in size than any USA or Canadian bottles I own as well.
